For a while, Gao Sixi was speechless in surprise. He looked at Li looking at him, but his eyes did not focus on him at all. This was already an out-of-body feeling. Gao Sishi didn't know why, but his heart felt a little tingling, and he couldn't help coughing lightly.
In fact, many people don't know that the two chamberlains around Li, Gao Sishi and Li Siguo, both have great cultivation skills. In addition to serving their master, they usually devote themselves to cultivation. Although he rarely fights with others, his cultivation level is actually extremely high. The purpose of their existence, in this life, is to help and serve Li.
Since the late Emperor Li Hui came to power in Yang and Wu, in order to protect his several main sons, he trained a group of orphans as his sons' attendants. These people usually study hard and practice hard, and they keep their bodies hidden from others. They are truly a group of masters who exist like shadows.
Times have changed, and not many of this group of people remain. However, Gao Sishi and Li Siguo are rare people who have been together for decades. Seeing the look on Li's face at this time, I knew that something must be tangled up in his heart. Based on Gao Sishi's understanding of Li, this cough was also coming from Dantian Qi, which can be said to be enough to shock people.
Sure enough, it seemed that because of this unintentional cough, Li, who was lost in some thoughts, raised his head for a moment as if he was shaken, and then slowly came back to his senses. Of course, he didn't say anything immediately, but slowly glanced at Gao Sishi.
Only then did he realize that the servant he trusted was looking at him quietly. Thinking of his expression and performance just now, Li opened his mouth a few times, as if he wanted to speak but in the end no sound came out. It seemed that he didn't know what to say at the moment, but he suddenly understood what Gao Sishi meant.
"Don't worry, Gujia will take care of it!" Looking at Gao Sishi's worried eyes, Li's heart suddenly felt warm for some reason, and he actually felt that his eyes seemed to be a little moist. In fact, Li didn't have to worry about seeing it, and besides, he was no longer the boy he was back then, so he suppressed his thoughts and nodded slightly towards Gao Sixi.
"The king has worked hard day and night, and his achievements in this life have been demonstrated. There are many things that you should not worry about!" Gao Sishi's voice was light and heartwarming.
The warmth in Li's eyes at this time made people feel a little more close to him: "It is said that Zhou Guo's special envoy Li Jigong, Peng Datou and Hongyi, have met him!"
Gao Sishi was stunned for a moment, and then thought of who Li was talking about, Peng Datou. Although he was a little surprised, he quietly replied: "When Mr. Peng accepted the title of Zhou Guo, it was Mr. Li who was the envoy of the Chuzhou regiment who came to teach him. It must be no surprise that they are related to each other! But he actually introduced that commoner to him, he is really confused!"
After all, the Tang State and the Zhou State had been at war over the years, and the Zhou State could be said to have completely taken the initiative. In the end, the Tang State ceded all the land north of the Yangtze River as a gift, and downgraded it to a vassal state as the bottom line, which stopped the war. So on the surface, Zhou Guo couldn't say anything, but as the leader of the country, Li's inner frustration can be imagined.
Although after several years of war, both countries have hurt each other. However, Zhou State escorted all the civil and military officials captured in previous wars to Bianjing. This is a shame for Tang State, and Tang State cannot object yet.
This is not the main problem. What is most difficult for Li to accept is that the Zhou State not only gave these prisoners titles and titles, but also bribed hundreds of civil and military officials at all levels in Jinling. After the Tang Dynasty sued for peace at the end of last year, these captured officials were gradually released back to Jinling by the Zhou Dynasty. Many officials in Jinling and Tang Dynasty were also awarded honors. The intention was obviously very obvious.
Emperor Li had to express his gratitude on the surface, and even maintained a good attitude towards these returning officials. Although Li basically rarely used these people again, he was worried that they would become Zhou Dynasty. The main reason was that they all had an additional title from Zhou Kingdom, which also included Bian Hao, the God of War.
For the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of extra title for their civil and military officials was tantamount to a great shame and humiliation, but there was no way around it. Because according to common sense, even our own country has become a vassal state of Zhou State, what else is there to say?
The Peng Datou Pengshi mentioned by Li was a surrendered general who was captured in Chu. Although he had never been to Bianjing, because he was one of the generals who surrendered to Chu, he was also the target of Zhou's strategy of dividing people's hearts. It was obviously not surprising that Zhou Guo wanted to win over him!
After the Tang Dynasty downgraded itself to a vassal state last year, the Zhou Dynasty also granted official titles to Tang officials in a similar manner. Of course, those officials below the fifth rank were naturally and generously appointed to the Li family of the Tang Dynasty and arranged their own appointments and removals within the Tang Dynasty. But for a general like Master Peng, who has a title and a real title, he needs Zhou Guolai to appoint and remove him.
"It is said that Hongyi went to Shengyuan Temple. Even if Peng Datou didn't give any hint, it is not a big deal for those people that they went to Shengyuan Temple together." Li's voice was a little cold, and he looked outside the high wall: " This may be their leverage at any time, Peng Datou, Peng Datou!"
"Shengyuan Temple is now well-known in the Central Plains. Even if the common people go to Shengyuan Temple, it is considered human nature. You must know that Master Muping who is stationed in Xi is an Arhat who can decide between life and death! The king of the country respected him the most at the beginning. Everyone in the Zen sect, because of that commoner’s identity, maybe this can be a turning point!”
Gao Sishi naturally knew that the deposed prince Li Hongyi had quite a relationship with Master Muping before. If he could see the master again at this time, it would not be surprising to Gao Sishi that Li Hongyi would feel more hopeful. However, Li was worried about Master Peng getting involved, which was considered a kind of foresight!
"It is said that Hongyi went to Shengyuan Temple wearing bright yellow uniforms. Did Siguo not remind him that he could wear white clothes?" Although Li was in the inner palace, he obviously still knew many things well. Because Li Hongyi is a commoner now, he cannot wear other colors.
Even if you wear bright yellow regular clothes underneath, it doesn't matter if you add white clothes outside. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which reached its peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the color of service was strictly distinguished from the imperial court to the common people.
The purple, red, and green colors worn by princes and generals represent nobility, and the blue color represents the ordinary class of officials, while white is the common uniform of the common people. As for the rich merchants, they can only wear black like butchers. Li didn't care, even the most noble status was gone, so what's the point of caring about these external things!
But there are obviously a lot of spies in the Zhou Kingdom, in Jinling City, and even in the crown. In order to destroy the belligerent Li Hongyi this time, Zhou Guo obviously caused a lot of trouble. Whether it was the death of the crown prince or the deposed crown prince Li Hongyi, it now seems that they all have something to do with the Kingdom of Zhou!
Looking at the ancient cypress with his hands behind his hands, Li Hongyi seemed to be filled with emotion.
It seems that there is a pulling force in the dark, which makes me eager to deal with it. There was drizzle in the sky, and there were no people in front of the hall, but Li seemed to have an inexplicable tangle in his mind.
